/1. South Korean National Intelligence Service about the transportation of North Korean troops and weapons to Russia.
“According to the National Intelligence Service of South Korea, four landing ships and three escort ships belonging to the Russian Pacific Fleet completed the first transport of approximately 1,500 North Korean special forces from the areas near Chongjin, Hamhung, and Musudan (Attachment 1) to Vladivostok, Russia during the same period, and a second transport operation is scheduled to take place soon.
This is the first time that the Russian Navy has entered North Korean waters since 1990. In addition, large transport aircraft such as the AN-124 of the Russian Air Force are frequently flying between Vladivostok and Pyongyang.
The North Korean soldiers dispatched to Russia are currently stationed at Russian military bases in the Far East, including Vladivostok, Ussuriysk (Appendix 2), Khabarovsk (Appendix 3), and Blagoveshchensk, and are expected to be deployed to the front lines as soon as they complete their adaptation training.
Also, considering the size of containers loaded on cargo ships traveling between North Korea and Russia, it appears that more than 8 million rounds of 122mm and 152mm shells have been provided to Russia so far.”

/1. About half an hour ago, there was an attack on a Russian warehouse in Oktyabr'skii, Krasnodar region of Russia.
Official Ukrainian statement is that a storage with Shahed kamikaze drones was targeted by the Ukrainian NAVY (usually that means that Neptune missile was used for the attack). As claimed, 400 Shahed kamikaze drones were stored there.

/2. Many Russian media outlets are now writing the narrative that this fire is not the result of any missile strike and that it is supposedly just an ordinary household fire.
However, local witnesses, and videos of detonations, have a different opinion. Witnesses say they heard missile whistle.
/3. Official Ukrainian statement regarding the strike on Russian Shahed storage in Krasnodar region:
The Defense Forces of Ukraine successfully hit the Shahed UAV storage base
Today, the strike group of the forces and the Naval Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, in cooperation with units of the Security Service of Ukraine, attacked the Shahed UAV storage base near Oktyabrsky settlement in the Krasnodar region of the Russian Federation.
According to available information, about 400 attack drones were stored there. According to the results of objective control, an accurate hit on the target was recorded. A secondary detonation was observed on the territory of the object.
The destruction of the Shahed UAV storage base will significantly reduce the ability of the Russian occupiers to terrorize peaceful residents of Ukrainian towns and villages.
Combat work on the military objectives of the invaders continues.
🔥/1. The Tikhoretsk ammunition depot was not the only Russian ammunition storage facility which got destroyed tonight.
The second, a bit smaller, arsenal in Toropets, Tver region, got targeted tonight as well.
FIRMS data: Toropets mmunition depot which was targeted several days ago is on top, the one which was targeted tonight is at the bottom.
/2. Rather sadly, we do not have a lot of good quality footages of a detonation from tonight’s attack on the second ammunition storage in Toropets😿
/3. The Staraya Toropa railway station has been evacuated in the Tver region.
The evacuation of the station began at about three o'clock in the morning after the Toropetsky district of the region was attacked by drones.
As a standard response by Russian officials all the damaged was caused by debris of downed drones, as the governor of a Tver region reported that UAVs were shot down in the southwest of the Tver region by the forces of the Russian Ministry of Defense.
